So Hot Amaya Slot Burns up the Reels

Amaya Gaming Group subsidiary, Cadillac Jack has ventured into the Vegas vault for inspiration for its vintage theme in the So Hot online video slot. This retro-style online rendition of the traditional fruit machine also features another popular video slot motif – burning red flames and fire.

Online casino Australia So Hot is a five-reel internet video slot with 20 fixed paylines that never deviates from its well-rounded classic theme, although it does feature a few modern twists to keep the game on par with its modern competition.

Classic Symbols in Flames

In accordance with the slot’s tribute to all things traditional, the So Hot symbols are all recognisable favourites from classic fruit machine reels. They include the standard 9-A playing card values, with face cards depicting their respective jacks, queens and kings, 7s, cherries, golden bells, and the like.

The five reels of the So Hot slot are set in an ornate golden frame against a wine red backdrop, with bright orange and yellow flames lapping at the base of the screen.

Multiple Wager Options on Non-Adjustable Paylines

As was standard practice with the original fruit machines, players of So Hot are not able to alter the number of paylines active – they must wager on all 20 lines every time they spin.

What is adjustable, however, is the size of the wager per spin, which varies extensively. So Hot players may wager between one and 10 coins per line, with coin values ranging from as little as 0.01 or as much as 1.00 credit per line. This keeps the minimum wager at 0.20 credits, whilst the So Hot max bet is set at 200.00 credits.

This broad betting range, combined with the slot’s simple yet interesting game play, makes So Hot an appealing choice for cautious beginners and ambitious pros alike.

So Hot Is Twice as Wild

Instead of the usual single wild symbol, the So Hot slot actually has two of them – although they are almost identical in appearance. These So Hot wilds take the form of the red and the blue 7 symbols, which are equal in intrinsic value and both of which can replace standard symbols to complete winning paylines.

Note, however, that the two So Hot wilds cannot be mixed into the same combination when forming 7s combinations.

Two-of-a-Kind So Hot Payouts

Although most of the symbols in So Hot function according to the general online slot standard by which symbols only yield wins for three or more of a kind on a single active reel, there are two unique exceptions to this rule.

Both the 9 and the So Hot logo pay out even if there are only two of them on the reels at a time.

Burning Hearts and Free Spins

The So Hot scatter symbol is represented by the image of a burning heart. Although the So Hot scatter does not have the usual advantage of paying out regardless of the order in which appears, it doesn’t have to appear on an active payline in order to yield a win.

Additionally, landing two or more So Hot scatters in a win gains players access to the game’s free spins bonus round, which features a 2x multiplier on all wins. So Hot players receive between five and 60 free spins, depending on the number of scatters landed.
